So, a cheap man (wise also) could use heroku's API to auto throttle the dynos each day?
Say, his app is for whatever reason, US centric, or even pacific time zone only, he could then target a certain set of hours, 8-5 and set the 8 dynos to the ready at 7:59am, and then then come 5 o'clock mark it back down to 1, skipping sat and sunday altogether and netting a 15 hour a day savings?
